76 | Bespoke design solutions Vincent stresses that above all good design should be uplifting. Bespoke Architecture T T Sue Russell ARCHITECTURE Led by Vincent Sanders, Bespoke Architecture boasts a team of skilled designers and technicians, headquartered in Christchurch with additional satellite offices in Central Otago and Tasman. Vincent is deeply passionate about making great architecture accessible, believing it should be available to all, irrespective of budget. “We place immense value on developing robust relationships with our clients,” Vincent emphasizes. “Understanding their desires is pivotal; it enables us to breathe life into design elements that genuinely add value to their lives and enhance their home experience. Our conversations extend beyond budget limitations; our goal is to deliver bespoke design solutions tailored to each individual.” Vincent’s journey began amidst challenges, notably when his wealth of experience as a Design Manager on substantial projects in the UK was overlooked due to perceptions of youth and inexperience when he returned to NZ. This spurred his determination to establish his own studio. The tumultuous years following the Christchurch earthquakes swiftly transformed his solo practice into a team of 7, a number that currently fits their operational dynamic seamlessly. “Our approach is distinctive,” Vincent explains. “We’ve designated a Technical Manager tasked with ensuring top-tier documentation for seamless construction. Quality assurance and staying updated with evolving building technologies are fundamental aspects of our process, enabling us to maintain Bespoke’s rigorous standards.” “We’re not interested in designing homes at exorbitant costs,” Vincent asserts.

Engaging clients on a profound level is a cornerstone of Bespoke’s methodology. Breaking down preconceived notions and delving into the essence of their needs is pivotal to presenting tailored design solutions. To facilitate this process, they’ve curated a comprehensive booklet containing 100 detailed questions, fostering thorough consideration and inspiration in their clients’ decision-making. Bespoke Architecture Ltd spans various sectors. Current projects include commercial ventures like a Queenstown restaurant and an innovative facility for a Cromwell orchard. Renovations hold a special place for the team, breathing new life into heritage structures or older homes to align with evolving lifestyles. Their team includes Jason Clark, a qualified Passive House designer, whose expertise has steered Bespoke towards more sustainable design practices. Vincent says he’s personally never satisfied that he’s achieved everything he’s capable of. “There’s always something new to learn, a better way, a smarter solution”. His belief in comprehensive education for aspiring architects, incorporating practical experience on construction sites, underscores the importance of understanding fundamental structural principles. Vincent stresses that above all good design should be uplifting. It should enable homeowners to find solace within their spaces, shutting out the world and embracing their true selves. Currently, Vincent is engaged in a pioneering townhouse project in Wanaka, collaborating with a client who challenges conventional norms (and the Council) and aims to contribute value to the community through innovative design. “It’s invigorating working with someone who seeks to elevate not just their own space but the entire neighbourhood. This keeps me optimistic about the impact of design in our community.” g a r d e n a r c h i t e c t u r e form.net.nz Proud to be a project partner working alongside Bespoke Architecture Ltd MASTER ELECTRICIANS 021 791 397 | 021 210 3616 elec@drenp.co.nz RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL • SHOP FIT OUT • DATA & COMMS
